Summary
🤩
RockstarMin Zhou is a seasoned Senior Staff Engineer based in Sunnyvale with over 14 years of hands-on experience building large-scale distributed systems and data infrastructure. She has led foundational efforts at Databricks as the first engineer and leader of the TiDB team, architected scalable control planes and UltraWarm storage features at AWS, and built end-to-end data pipelines for Tango’s 300M users. Comfortable both as an individual contributor and technical lead, Min has deep operational experience running one of the world’s largest Hadoop clusters at Taobao and shipping production Spark, Kafka, Cassandra, and Hadoop-based systems. Her background blends low-level systems engineering (C++ early in her career) with modern cloud-native stream processing and storage architectures. Not obvious from titles alone: she has repeatedly built platforms from scratch across companies and datacenters, turning prototype ideas into production infrastructure. She holds an M.S. in Computer Software and Theory and consistently focuses on making distributed systems reliable, scalable, and maintainable.
